The writer seems to feel like they were singled out to be victimized, in part because of being female. Surely, things probably could have been handled better. It hasn't been all that long ago when we had to adorn facial coverings just to get through the door to...
Don't judge Gurf Morlix only by the company he keeps, even if it does provide a fine starting point: eminent musical artists such as Lucinda Williams, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Warren Zevon, Ian McLagan, Patty Griffin, Robert Earl Keen, Michael Penn, Buddy Miller, Mary Gauthier, Tom Russell, Jim Lauderdale, and Slaid Cleaves. Instead, listen to “Gurf Morlix Finds the Present Tense” (2013), his sixth solo album, and you'll understand why his blue-ribbon associations as a producer, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist have led...
